Harman-Kardon HA160-0004-A manual Speaker Setup, Signature Series Power On Standby

Signature 2.0

System Configuration

The final preparation before proceeding with the configuration is to make certain that your television, monitor, or projector or other video display device is turned on, and that it is adjusted so that the 2.0 is the current video input. At this point you should also make one last check that all sources, amplifiers and speakers are properly connected to the 2.0, plugged into AC power, turned on or in their standby modes.

Turn the 2.0 on using the front panel Standby Switch

2or the Main Power On switch a on the remote control. Note that the Standby LED 5 will go out and the word “Signature” on the front panel will turn a soft blue color to act as the Power Indicator 6. If the 2.0 is connected to a Signature Series power amplifier via the remote trigger cable it, too, will turn on.

When the power is first turned on, the Information Display ) will first show a brief turn-on message (Figure FPD-3)

Speaker Setup

The first step in the configuration is to program the 2.0 so that it “knows” what kind of speakers are connected. This information, pertaining to the characteristics of the speakers, not their brand or model, establishes the bass management of the 2.0.

To begin the process, press the Menu button j and note that the main Setup Menu (Figure OSD-1) will appear.

The first three lines tell the system if the speakers used are capable of extended low-frequency reproduction. When making a setting, use the following as a guideline:

Small: Select this setting if the speakers used are not capable of reproducing low-frequency information below 100Hz.

Large: Select this setting if the speakers are traditional, full-range loudspeakers.

NOTE: The words “Large” or “Small” do not refer to the actual size of the speakers, but their ability to handle low-frequency information. In general, however, full-range speakers are larger in size than frequency-limited satellite speakers since they often include large woofers.
